Hi lurkio, I'm following with considerable interest your archiving of Mike Goldberg's disc collection. I imagine there are quite a few of us out there who have their own collections of discs safely (or not so safely) stored away, probably in the attic, and subjected relentlessly to the annual extremes of winter chill and summer heat. One day, we think, we'll have the courage to boot up the old beeb and get those discs safely archived onto a PC or Mac - if only we knew how. I guess the trick would be to experiment first with someone else's discs... Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing what else you unearth, hopefully lots of original stuff as opposed to more Goldberg variations.

Interesting ...

I found a copy of a 'bones' music demo whilst archiving a mass of discs.

Yes, it's quite well known and has been posted on Stardot before, I'm fairly certain. There seem to be at least two versions: yours, with a plain background, and the one I found in the MRM haul, with the "MRM stage" background.
